Best Credit Card with 0% for 9 or 12 months

Options
I would like a new credit card which will offer 0% for the next 9 or 12 months and will allow me to transfer my current credit card balance.

Will I also be able to add purchases onto the new card at 0% for the remainder of the 9 or 12 months ?

Can anyone tell me which card is best suited for my needs , thanks for any help
something missing

    Tesco are currently offering 0% on all purchase and balance transfer until 1st November 2005, so the early you apply the longer the 0% period is. Egg and Mint also offers reasonable long intro periods. Beware that the 0% bt and purchase periods are not always the same.

    I believe Tesco are offering 0% on purchases until 1/11/05 but 5.9% for life of balance on BTs. As always you need to read the terms and conditions before signing up to anything; offers change frequently.

    hi, i believe that Lloyds tsb have one of the longest 0%. I have started the "advance card" and even rang them this morning to confirm that it is deffinatly 12 mounths from the day you activate the card. They also explained that (as long as your "credit rating" is ok) it is still avalible. Hope this helps!!

    You can get 0% on BT until 1st Nov 05 if you pick up a leaflet in stores. However there is a handling fee of 2% with a minimum of £2 and a maximum of £35.
